Dynamite Used ON San Francisco
Gable Lines.


SAN FRANCISCO, January l3.-The
residents on Post street between Larkin
and Polk streets were startled between
seven and eight o'clock this evening by
the sound of tremendous explosion
and by the shattering of glass about
their ears. A dynamite cartridge had
been placed on the track of the Larkin
street branch line of the Sutter Street
Gable Road and had exploded under
dummy number thirty.four. The dummy
was completely wrecked and the win.
dows of the car and the houses in the vi.
cinity were demolished. Mr. Hilderbrandt
his wife and brother were sitting on the
dummy on the side where the explosion
took place. They were all thrown into
the street and Mrs. Hilderbrandt, it is
feared, seriously injured. She was
taken into neighboring house and med.
ical assistance summoned. Later in the
evening she was conveyed to her home.
1t was miracle that there were no
others injured, IS several persons We're
ON the dummy.
The people In the vicinity rushed to
the scene of the disaster and soon large
crowd congregated. Officer Conboy,
who was on the dummy, in describing
his sensations said that the explosion
had the effect of momentarily stunning
him and it was fully half hour before
he recovered his hearing.
The excitement caused by this explo.
sion was intensified when it became
known that another explosion had taken
place on the Sutter Street Cable road,
near Dupont street about 8 o'clock. The
explosion which is believed to have
been giant powder cartridge. was ex.
ploded by the dummy wheels running
over it. The dummy was disabled and
had to be taken to the car house for re-
pairs. 1t was quickly replaced by new
one and the road continued to operate its
cars as usual during the remainder of
the night. No one was injured by the
latter explosion as the charge in the
cartridge was evidently small. The
authorities are entirely at loss as to the
author of these outrages, and have as
vet not obtained the slightest clue to the
perpetrators of any OF these frequent
attempts at the destruction of life and
property on the Geary and Sutter street
cable roads.
The cable was stranded by the ex.
plosion on Post street, but the damage
was quickly repaired, and the cars re-
sumed running. Three men who were
ON the dummy were bruised, but none
of them seriously hurt. Two men have
been arrested ON suspicion of being con.
cerned in the outrage. Their names
cannot be ascertained.. Later in the even
ing an unexploded dynamite cartridge
was found near Scott street, on the
Geary street road. The cartridge had
evidently been placed on the track. but
had rolled off. At this hour, IL P. M,
Chief Crowley and other police off oials
are celebrating as to what means to
take to detect and bring the culprits to
justice, and to guard more carefully
against any overt acts in the future.

arrest of James Ward, ring leader of the
When the officers arrived
they were met by bowling mob of 500,
who began throwing stones at them.
Just then the "black legs" appeared
and were chased into their bar
racks. Ward was finally arrested
and the mob rushed to the Justices
office defying the officers to bring him
there. Their weight sagged the floor
and fearing that the building would fall
they rushed out, when the prisoner was
hurried in by the police. The Justice
was intimidated, however, and dis
charged Ward. The mob then attacked
the barracks and riddled the windows
with stones. The guards seized their
rifles and the "black legs" rushed for
looking revolvers and de.
to hold the fort. The assault
on the barracks being continued the order
was given to fire, and twenty balls sped in
the direction of the mob and the crowd
turned and fed. 1t cannot now be as
whether any of the strikers
were shot or not. Mine foreman Dol
phin gives it as his opinion that several
of the strikers were wounded at least by
the volley from the posses rifles. All
is quiet at midnight but fresh trouble is
tomorrow.
